Press release
18 Dec 2018
After several years of close collaboration between Canadian and French research teams, thirteen institutional partners from Canada and France, including Université Laval and France’s National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) and National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), today founded the International Research Network Food4BrainHealth. The new network is dedicated to nutrition and brain health, from predictive biology to disease prevention and treatment.

A study conducted by the University Hospital of Besançon and INRA shows the protective effect of high cheese consumption from a very young age. For the first time, a link has been established between cheese consumption and the probability of developing food or skin allergic diseases, regardless of the consumption of various other foods (vegetables or fruits, cereals, bread, meat, cake and yogurt) and living conditions in a farm environment (presence and diversity of farm animals).

A diet based on MON 810 or NK603 transgenic maize does not affect the health or metabolism of rats, under the conditions of the GMO 90+1 project. This unprecedented study performed by a research consortium led by INRA brought together a number of partners, including Inserm. The research was performed as part of the Risk’OGM program funded by the French Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition.

An international consortium coordinated by INRA and including the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), the CEA-Genoscope, the University of Turin, Université de Lorraine and the CNRS has sequenced the genomes of several prized species of truffle, including the Alba white truffle, the summer or Burgundy truffle and the desert truffle. This breakthrough provides new insight: not only into the ecologically important role of tree/fungi symbiosis, but most importantly into the mechanisms involved in truffle growth and the creation of their famous odours.

On the 11th September in Vienna (Austria), ESFRI will present the 2018 edition of the European Research Infrastructures Roadmap. Among the new infrastructure projects in this latest edition is IBISBA, an infrastructure project that aims to draw together European R&D strength to provide new support for the development of industrial biotechnology. Coordinated by INRA, a French organization that is a world leader in agricultural sciences, IBISBA brings together 14 R&D operators from 9 European member states. The overarching aim of the IBISBA infrastructure project is to provide a novel environment that will accelerate the production of knowledge and the applications thereof.
